This is a great school. The entire staff is awesome. They are always willing to go above and beyond to assist their students!

Currently, I have mixed opinion of Mill Creek Elementary. I’ve talked with other schools in the area to see what they have to offer and how they conduct business. Mill Creek doesn’t have as many programs as some schools, but they also have more/better programs that lesser schools don’t have.Con: At the beginning of the school year, there was some disorganization administration wise. They didn’t put their best foot forward for the first orientation. The lack of organization may have been a fluke, but if other orientations/meetings are as disorganized as the first one, a self-evaluation needs to be conducted because some internal processes are broken. Pro: Mill Creek Elementary seems to have some good incentives for the children to learn. They had a great “Night of Reading” a few months ago where the school taught parents ways of helping their children read. It was very good for parents and they had pizza for the children afterwards. I expected a bigger turnout from parents, but I thought the program was great. I would like to see something like that offered once a month.The school has various reading charts they give out that offer rewards such as free pizza or free USC basketball tickets if a certain number of books are read in a certain time period. They have a treasure box in my son’s class where if you help students or do very good on assignments you get points. Once you get a certain amount of points you can get something from the box. You can also lose points for being bad. It is a very good reward and punishment system to help build character for a child that age.It would be nice to have the school teach a life skills/parenting class for parents of students. That would most likely be too controversial though.

The principal was a big help with any questions and very personable. My daughter met some amazing teachers who will have a great lifelong impression on her.

Our daughter has attended Asbury for both Pre-K and Kindergarten. I could not be more pleased with our decision to enroll her. What a relief it is to know she is in a loving, safe, supportive and challenging learning environment every day. The directors, teachers, and staff have made this program exceptional. We are so blessed to have found such a wonderful place. THANK YOU, ASBURY!!!
